Hi, so I wanted to return to CoH after a very long hiatus. I finished downloading and installing everything last night. This morning I hop on, and see that the screen goes black shortly after the loading bar fades in. It loads for a second then I hear the login screen music. My mouse switches to the CoH cursor, and the screen remains black.
After a lot of research, I've uninstalled and reinstalled to the latest graphics drivers. I already did a check last night on "Can You Run It" to see if my computer was able to take on CoH, which I pass the minimum & recommended specs (aside from having win7) easily.
I've tried various combinations of compatibility/no compatibility/run as administrator/turning off visual theme options.
I've added in commands onto the target line. I've even created a bat file to stop explorer, start coh, run explorer again (a trick to fix graphic issues in starcraft). This actually only worked up until I hit the login screen, but it loaded more like one would expect.
Thanks for any help you can provide :|
